Fred Hutch researchers excel at understanding the biology of pathogen-related cancers, identifying the immune system’s interaction with both pathogens and cancers, and leveraging that knowledge to develop and test innovative strategies that improve care for patients worldwide. The Pathogen-Associated Malignancies IRC builds on those strengths, interfacing closely with other programs, including our Immunotherapy IRC and Fred Hutch Global Oncology.

Over the next year this IRC will focus on seven infectious pathogens (shown in bold in the graphic below) and their related cancers. The center plans to engage other public and private organizations in a global collaborative effort to reduce the number of cancer cases associated with pathogens.
